What do you mean coffee is nasty! This is a thread for coffee lovers so obviouly your input is spurious.

cyrusabdollahi said:Man, do you get the shakes if you don't get ur hit of coffee? Thats an insane amount of caffeine. I don't drink caffeine because it lowers your creatine levels in your muscles.
P.S. The origional montain dew was from 1964! I bet you had to use a bottle opener for that! I guess things were different in the days before aluminum cans and plastic bottles.

I need caffeine because I'm NOT a morning person, yet the rest of the world seems to think EVERYONE MUST be a morning person. You do not want to risk having a non-morning person to get up early in the morning without having plenty of caffeine to ease the transition from sleep to wakefulness (that's about a 5 hour transition for me without caffeine...sometime around noon I gain full function of my faculties and can resist the urge to smack anyone who seems overly peppy).mattmns said:Who needs caffeine? I have actually never drank any coffee. In fact, about 4 years ago I started drinking nothing but water, over those 4 years I have had maybe 6 drinks (~1 glass each) that were not water.

Integral said:According to this source, coffee contains substaintially more caffein then Mt. Dew. I tend to stronger coffee, so a single 12oz mug of my coffee is like between 3 & 4 bottles of Mt. P** I mean Dew.
edit:
I keep forgetting the implied smilies!
To brew the perfect pot of coffee, start by using freshly ground coffee beans and filtered water. Use a ratio of 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. Preheat your coffee pot or French press, then add the coffee grounds and pour hot water over them. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes before pressing or pouring the coffee into your cup.
To make your coffee less bitter, try using a coarser grind of coffee beans or using a lower water temperature. You can also add a pinch of salt to the grounds before brewing, as this can help neutralize the bitterness. Experiment with different brewing methods and ratios to find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
The ideal brewing time for coffee is typically 4-5 minutes. However, this can vary depending on the brewing method and personal preference. Some people prefer a shorter brewing time for a lighter and more acidic cup, while others prefer a longer brewing time for a stronger and bolder flavor.
Technically, you can reuse coffee grounds to make a second pot of coffee, but the resulting brew will be weaker and less flavorful. It's best to use fresh grounds for each pot of coffee to ensure the best taste. If you want to reduce waste, consider using the grounds for compost or as a natural fertilizer for plants.
Coffee beans and grounds should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in the fridge or freezer, as this can introduce moisture and affect the taste. It's best to buy coffee in small batches and use it within 1-2 weeks for optimal freshness and flavor.
